Like the gregarious tribes, and the vernal emigration- of the sea-fowl to the inferior lakes, they brought all their charities, their true home with then). Their s'a e of i-olation cemented these kindly feelings. It has been found, that the current of human affections flows more full and strong, in proportion as it is lc"-s divided, and diverted into numerous channel. This community coming to survey new aspects of a nature measured only by the imagination, new danger, a new world, and in some sense a new existence, were bound to each other by a sacrament, as old as the human heart. 1 have a hundred times heard the remains of this race of the golden age deplore the distance and coldness of the measured, jealous and proud intercourse of the present generation, in comparison of the simple kindness, the frank and domestic relations of those primeval day s, reminding me of the affecting accounts of the mutual love of Christians in the early period of the church. When the social band had planted their feet on the virgin soil, the first object was, to fix on a spot central to one of the most extensive upland alluviousof gentle swell and declivity, where pawpaw, cane and wild clover marked exuberant fertility: and where the woods were so open, that the hunter could ride in any direction at half speed. The cur-e of party feuds, and political asperity had riot yet smitten the foil with sterility ; and it yielded almost without our cultivation, than planting, from eighty to a hundred bushels of maize to the acre; and all other desirable products in proportion. Game was S) abundant, that two hunters would often kill enough in two days, to last a station of a hundred souls a month; and these robus'

as 10 nuua a 'station,' which now remains to be described. It was desirable that it should be near a flush

im.esione spring; and it a salt lick and

prodigious sugar maule orchard won

loe at hand, so much the better.The next preliminary step was, to

u'.ir a considerable area, so as that nothing should he left to screen an enemy from view and a shot. If a pringcould be enclosed, or a good well dug in the enclo-ure, they were considered important elements; but as an Indian siege seldom extended beyond one or two days, and as enough, to last through the emergency, could always he stored in a re-ervoir; it wadeemed still more important that the position should be on a rising ground, as much as possible overlooking the adjoining forest. The form was a perfect parallelogram, including from a half to a full acre. A trench wathen dug, four or five feet deep, and contiguous pickets planted in it, so as to form a compact wall ten or twelve feet above the ground. The picketwere of hard and durable timber, nearly a foot in diameter, and formed a rampart beyond the power of man either to leap or overthrow, by the exerche of individual and unaideJ physical power. At the angles were Miiall projecting squares ofill stronger material and planting, technialh

expedient was, to undermine them, or

distroy them with fire; and this could not be easily done without exposing thern to the ritle of the flankers. Of course, there are few recorded instances w here they wrre taken, when skillfully and resolutely defended. Their regular forms in the central wilderness, their aspect of security, their social city slnw, rendered them delightf ul objects to an emigrant, who had come two hundred leagues without seeing a human habitation. Around the interior of these walls, the buildings of the little community arose, with a central clean esplanade for dancing and wrestling, and the other primeval amusements of the olden days. It is questionable, if heartier 11 1 i

wrestling and dancing, loving and mar

rying, fall to the lot of their descendants, who ride m coaches and dwell in spacious mansions. Venison and wild turkeys, sweet potatoes and pies smoaked on the tajwk' and persimon and maple beer quaffed as well, at least for health, as Madeira or nectar. The community spent their merry evenings together: and while the fire blazed bright within the little and secure square, the far howl of wolves, or even the solitary war-whoop ofan Indian sounded in the ear of the happy and reckless indwellcrs, like the driving storm, pouring on the sheltering roc I above the head of the trav eller, safely nestled in his clean and quiet bed; that is, brought the contrast of comfort and secuiity in more home-felt emphasis to the bosom. Such a station was Bryant's in 1782. It was the nucleus of the settlements of that delightful and rich country, of which Lexington is the present centre. There were at this time but two others north of the Kentucky river. It was more open to attack than any other in the country. The Miami on the north, and the Licking on the south of the Ohio, were long canals, which led from the northern hive of the savages between the lakes and the Ohio directly to it. In the summer of this year, a grand assemblage convened at Chilicothe. The Therokees, Wyandots, Tawas, Pottowattomie?, and most of the tribes bordering on the lakes were represented in it. Besides their chiefs, and some Canadians, they w ere aided by the councils of the Girtys mid jVi'Kee, icnegado whites, i have

made diligent enquiry touching the biography of these men, particularly

Simon Girty, a wretch, whose name is

ot more notoriety in the instigation of the wars and massacres of these Indians than any other in our records. No

tortured captive escaped from them in

tnese umes, who could not tell the

share which Simon Girty had in his sufferings; no burnings and murders, in which he assisted not either with his

presence or his councils. I have gained no specific information, except that

they were supposed to be refugees

trom 1 ennsylvania. They added the calculating and combining powers ol the whites to the instinctive cunning and ferocity of the savages. Thev had their warlike propensities, without their magnanimity; and their appetite tor blood w ithout their active or passive courage. They had the bad properties of the whites and Indians, unmixed with the good of either. Thv cruelty of the Indians had some show of palliating eircu nstances. But theirs was gratuitous, or cold-blooded, and without visible motive. Yet Simon Girty, like the people, among wh m he dwelt, sometimes took the Ireak of kindness, no reason could be Assigned wherefore; and once or twice saved an unhappy victim from being roasted alive. This renegado lived in plenty ; and smoked his pipe, and drank otfhis whiskey in his bur palace.

otu hingthe poiet. which it was expedient to assail. He painted to them the delights of the land of cane, clover, deer, at d hutFdoes, and the fair vallies of the Kantuckee, for which so much blood had been shed. He described the gradual encroachment oi the whites; and the necessity of a determined etlort, if they would ever regain possession of their rich and rightful domain. He warned them, if the prsent order of things continued, that the whites would soon leave them no hunting grout ds, worth retaining; and no means of procuring rum, with which to warm and cheer their desolate hearts, or blankets to clothe their naked hacks. Thev were advised to descend the Miami, cross the Ohio, ascended the Licking and paddle their canoes to the very contiguity of Bryant's station. The speech was received with yells of enthusiastic applause. Aw ay marched this cohort of biped wolves, howling through the fores! to their canoes on the Miami. Girty, in his ruffled shirt and soldier coat, stalked at their head, silently feeding upon his own grandeur. The station, against which they were destined enclosed forty cabins. They arrived before it, Aug. 15, 1782, in the night. In the morning the inhabitants were warned of their presence, by being fired upon, as they opened their doors. The time of their arrival was providential. In two hours most of the efficient males of the station were to have marched to two other stations, which w ere reported to have been attacked. The place would thus have been left completely defenceless. The garrison found means to dispatch one of their number to Lexington, to announce the assault, and crave aid. Sixteen mounted men and thirty-one on

foot were immediately marched off to their aid. The number of the assailanlsamounted to at least six hundred. In conformity to the common modes of Indian warfare, they attempted to gain the place by stratagem. The great body concealed themselves among high weeds upon the opposite side of the station, within pistol shot of the spring from which it was supplied with water. With a detachment of a hundred, they commenced a false attack upon the southeast angle, w ith a view to draw the attention of the ganson to that point. This stratagem was predicated on the belief, that the inhabitants wouldall crowd to the point of assault, and leave the opposite one defence less. But here they reckoned without their host. The people instantly penetrated their pupose: and instead of return ii! their fire, commenced, what, ought

si.ig manner

to have been completed before, repairing the palisades, and putting the station in a condition of delect e. The high and luxurant Jamestown weeds near the spring instructed these experienced backwoodsmen, that a host of the foe lurked beneath their sheltering foliage, there to await the coming forth of the men, to draw water lor the supply of the garrison. Let modern wives, who hesitate to follow their husbands to this place, because it is deemed unhealthy; or to that because it will remove them from the scene of their accustomed pleasures, hear and prepend! These noble wives, mothers, daugnters and sweethearts, I dare affirm, handsomer than ever Juno or Venus, or Minerva, or any of the nymphs to boot, appeared on Mount Olympus, informed the men, that there was little probabilty that the Indians would tire upon them, as their game undoubtedly was the. men; and that if

even they did shoot down a few of them

it would in no way diminish the resour

ces of the garrison. The ill

heroines armed themselves with buck

ets, and marched down to the spring, espying here and there a painted face

ans were fascinated w ith their beauty

ditionary rather than written docn- cowardly

ments for the fact, that a round number of kisses were exchanged with these heroic ladies who so nobly jeop-

irdised themselves, and proved that

the disinterested daring of affection, is

not a mere poet's fiction.

Alter such an example, it was no

ways difficult to procure young volun

teers, readv to trv the Tndiniw in tho

way. As they denied, thev had scar, e

lv advanced from the station, hfnr

hundred Indians fired apon them.

They retreated within the palisade; and the whole Indian force rose, yelling, and rushed upon the enclosure. They howled with a mere disappoint

ed rage, when they found every trying

prepared tor their reception. A well

directed fire drove them to a more

cautious distance. Some of the more desperate of their number, however, ventured on the east exposed point so near, as to be able to discharge burning arrows upon the roofs of the houses. Some of them were fired, and burnt. But an ea-terlv wind providentially arose at the moment, and secured the mass of the buildings from the spreading of the flames; and the remnant they could not reach with their irrows. The enemy lurked back to their ( overt in the weeds: waiting panther like, for safer game. They "had been informed, or they had Jivined it, that aid was expetced from Lexington; and they arranged an ambuscade, to intercept it on its approach to the garrison. When the reinforcement, consisting of forty-six persons, came insight, the firing had ceased. The enemy were all invisible, and they came on in reekless confidence, under the impression, that they had marched on a false alarm. A lane opened an avenue to the station

through a thick cornfield. This lane

wa ambuscaded on either side by the

Indians, for a hundred yards. Fortun

ately , as it was dry and mid summer,

the horsemen raised such a cloud of

dust, that they sustained the close fire

of the Indians, without losing a man, or even a horse. The footmen were less

fortunate. They dispersed in the corn

field, in hopes to reach the garrison

unobserved. But masses of savages,

constantly increasing between them

and the station, intercepted them. H ird

fighting ensued, and two of them were

killed, and four wounded. Soon after

the detachment hadjoined their friends.

and the Indians were lying close in

their covert again, the numerous flocks

and herds of the station came in quiet

ly, ruminating, as they made their way towards their night pens. Upon these harmless animals the Indians had unmolested sport ; and they made a complete destruction of them A little after sunset, the famous Girty covertly approached th. g ris-n; mounted a stump, where he could be heard by the people within; and demanded a parley, and the surrender of the place. He managed his proposal- with no small degree of art, as lg'-dng, ii. imitation of the commander of numerous armies, that they were diet -ted by his humanity; that he wished to spare the etfusion of human blood; that, in case of a surrender, he could answer for the security of the priso -ers; hut that, in the event of taking the garrison by .-torm, he could not, thai cannon were approaching with a reinforcement, in which ca-e thL'y must be aware, that the palisades could no logger avail, to secure them from the numerous and incensed foe. Hi iuijpo-

had more effect in pro

ducing consternation, as the garrison knew, that the same fos had used cannon in the attack of Ruddle's and Margin's stations. Some faces bleached. Two had been already slain &the four wounded were groaning among them. Some of the more considerate, apprised of'the folly of allowing such a negotiator in such a way, to intimidate the garrison, called out to shoot the rascal, adding to his name the customary Kentucky epithet. Girty insisted upon his promised security, as a tW of truce, while this negotiation lastedand demanded with great assumed dignity, if they knew who it was, who thus addressed them. A spirited young man, of whom the most honorable mention is made in the subsequent annals of Indian warfare, was deputed to answer the renegade negotiator. His ob

ject was to do away the depression of

me garrison; and perhaps to gain a reputation for waggery, as he already had for fighting. -Yes' replied Reynolds, we kn.w you well. Yon .ifa

rvnow bimon Girty! Yes, his father

was a panther and his dam a wolf. I have a worthless dnr thii-;ii- i u.

linn rvins minus. Instead of shooting him, I have called him Simon Girty. You expected reinforcements arid cannon, do vou? Wf

ers to give short reckoning to vour owardly wretches. Cannon vm

would not dare touch them off, ify ou had them.

rascals out of the country.' 'Now you be burnt, says Simon, ap

parently no ways edified, or flattered by the reply. Affecting to deplore the obstinancy and infatuation of the garrison, the man of ruffled shirt, and soldier coat returned; and the firing commenced again. The besieged gave a good accouat of everyone, who came near enough to take a fair shot. But before morning, the main body marchedawav to the lower Biue Licks, where they obtained a ig-iallv fatal Sz bloody triumph. The f diansand Canadians are said to have exceeded 6 hundred; and the besieged numbered forty-two riflemen, before their reinforcements.

We learn, and believe that those who have heretofore been charged with our city affiirshave involved the corporation "in a debt exceeding three hundred thousand dollars, and there are some rumors about bonds, liabilities and lotteries which although whispered in an under-tone would if told in the open face of day, overshadow W t'iins and his friends. We are not su ficiently advised on these points to implicate any particular individual, further than all whose duty it was to have detected and exposed, or prevented the grievances of which all complain, are implicated by the f icts and consequent rumors. But it is easy o see that those who have lost caste with the national administration, and are quartered upon the city for a little brief authority will be paticularly solicitous to avail themselves of every incident calculated to. p eserve their local party unbroken.
